Enjoy a silent whale-watching excursion on a schooner and sail out on the Kaldfjord amidst utterly beautiful surroundings of majestic mountains rising directly out of the sea. Our guide is an experienced crew member trained in responsible wildlife tourism. Our schooner, named ‘Opal’, was built in 1952 and updated later with a battery-powered electric engine. The boat is designed to sail quietly through the fjords. Sitting comfortably in your seat, you may see orcas and humpback whales swimming gracefully by. The only sounds you hear are the whales surfacing and spraying water from their blowholes, and that of your heart beating a little bit faster! If we’re lucky, the northern lights will appear to perform their colorful, ethereal dance in the star-filled night sky above. This is a unique way to whale watch sustainably and silently to avoid disturbing the magnificent creatures or polluting their pristine environment.
